Bark Text to Speech AI Generative Audio

Bark is a revolutionary text-to-audio model created by Suno, based on the GPT-style models, which can generate highly realistic, multilingual speech as well as other audio — including music, background noise, and simple sound effects.

With Bark, users can also produce nonverbal communications like laughing, sighing, and crying, making it a versatile tool for a variety of applications.

Bark is a cutting-edge text-to-speech (TTS) technology that has taken the AI world by storm. Unlike the typical TTS engines that sound robotic and mechanic, Bark offers human-like voices that are highly realistic and natural sounding.

Bark uses GPT-style models to generate speech with minimal tweaking, producing highly expressive and emotive voices that can capture nuances such as tone, pitch, and rhythm. It offers a fantastic experience that can leave you wondering if you’re listening to human beings.

Notably, Bark supports multiple languages and can generate speech in Mandarin, French, Italian, Spanish, and other languages with impressive clarity and accuracy. With Bark, you can easily switch between languages and still enjoy high-quality sound effects.

Bark is not only intelligent but also intuitive, making it an ideal tool for individuals and businesses looking to create high-quality voice content for their platforms.

Whether you’re looking to create podcasts, audiobooks, video game sounds, or any other form of voice content, Bark has you covered.

BARK Features

Similar to Vall-E and some other amazing work in the field, Bark uses GPT-style models to generate audio from scratch.

Different from Vall-E, the initial text prompt is embedded into high-level semantic tokens without the use of phonemes.

It can therefore generalize to arbitrary instructions beyond speech that occur in the training data, such as music lyrics, sound effects or other non-speech sounds.

A subsequent second model is used to convert the generated semantic tokens into audio codec tokens to generate the full waveform
